Personal Writing: The Process Of My Writing Process

721 Words3 Pages

My writing process is very simple and usually doesn’t take me very long, (which could explain why my essays aren’t that good). I don’t really take the time I need to write a good essay due to the fact that I procrastinate heavily when it comes to writing. Usually it comes down to the work before the essay, my actually writing process, and the editing after my essay. When I am first given a writing assignment I would first look at what kind of essay I am writing. It could be an argumentative, comparison, literary analysis, creative, and/or problem solving essay. I then decide on the way I want to structure the essay, for example an argumentative essay would probably have two strong points and a paragraph designated for rebuttals. After I…show more content…Then I would spend 0.5 seconds coming up with the title (it usually ended up being the first thing that came to my head). Next, I would work on creating an introduction, each essay type have a different introduction. For example, literary analysis would include the book I am reviewing and the author 's name, also the context in which I am writing that essay and why. The introduction didn’t really have a specific length, it just had to look long enough and the last sentence had to be the longest. When I start working on the body paragraphs I try to make sure I’m not going off on a tangent, so I try to keep the subjects in each paragraph separate. I usually use a lot of examples to help explain what I mean, most of the time I do not feel like I am able to accurately convey an idea without the use of examples. The body paragraphs typically have to be the longest and I usually spend the most time on them. If I do not feel like I wrote enough I will add a quote to fill up some space. They also have to be in order with my thesis, I will change my thesis if I find I am writing about something different in my paragraphs. The conclusion basically gets thrown to the side when I write it. I don’t know how to write a proper conclusion without reiterating myself, so I prefer to make it very brief and

composition 101 we have learned many techniques to master the writing process.

Some poems came naturally, other I had to force the words to come out. The poem that were easy to write where the pomes that had less editing, and if they need any editing it was miner things, like change of words, or the title needed to be changed. However, the poems that required a lot editing were poems that took the

all of my courses. I did, however, have some classes that I would better excel; English always being one of them. My teachers would always praise me for the way I used my critical thinking skills and for my excellent editing and revising techniques. Due to these reasons, I felt very confident when I first started taking the Foundations of Academic Writing (FAW) I course. I quickly learned the error in my way of thinking. FAW I and II taught me many different techniques and tools of writing that I

exponentially improved my writing skills. Through critical self-analysis I have found my Achilles heel for writing, grammar and mechanical errors. I have become an editing heavy writer due to this very fact. This knowledge has led me to improve my skills minimizing my mistakes. Editing has allowed me to cope with my flaws.

It takes practice and repetition before settling on the necessary tools required for a recipe.

I have been toning old skills, while learning and developing new ones that can be added to my writing recipe

semester in college, I have had one of the biggest learning experiences of my life. College not only gives me an education, but real world experience as well. It will teach you many things and I know I am not done learning yet. When I first started Montgomery College, I took with the AELP English classes before I started college English now. I felt moderately unprepared taking EN 101A because it is college English. Since English is my second language, I was afraid that I was not going to get through this

The writing process is not manufactured by man, it’s inherent in the way we write. The writing process does not consist of rigid steps one must check off like a grocery list in order to have an effective paper; rather it is recursive process, with all steps intertwined, and connected, unable to be united or divided. It’s commonly agreed to have 4 steps: prewriting, drafting, revision, and editing. However, throughout our research as a group, we firmly assert that collaboration and reviewing

The five paragraph essay is tremendously valuable to me as a student. I have realized throughout my research that this format is seldom used by professionals; it is mostly used by students like me. I believe I now understand why that is; it seems to be a very clear way of composing a paper. It has a great deal of structure to it, and allows for more consistency and a better flow. Without having such structure, it is easy to go off on tangents, and at the same time, confuse the reader. The five-paragraph

Writing is an important process because writers need to constantly write, edit, revise, and more revise in order to improve not only their paper as a whole, but it is also a mean for the writer to improve their skill in writing. This statement that we made on our first day of the semester about the writing process has stayed true to its meaning until now. Writing is not only a skill to satisfy oneself, but it is also used to communicate with other people or reader if an author is trying to write
